This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in attachments for spectacles, and more particularly to a clamp for article holder for attachment to the usual ear pieces of spectacles.

An important object of the invention is to provide a retainer for spectacles which will permit the retention of a pencil or pen in an accessible position.

During the course of the following s cification and claims, other im ortant o jects and advantages of the invention will readily become apparent to the reader.

In the drawings Figure'l represents a side elevational view of a spectacle frame showin the novel retainer on one ear piece thereo and in the act of supporting a pencil.

Fig. 2 represents a fragmentary to plan view of a spectacle frame showing t e retainer on the ear piece.

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral 5 represents an eye piece and numeral 6 one ear piece of a spectacle frame. The retainer for the ear iece is (generally referred to by the numeral in the rawings. This retainer comprises an elongated leaf spring 8 rovided with ears 9 at one end, whereby t e same is secured to the ear piece. The opposite or free end of the spring is provided with an enlargement or head 10, and when the leaf spring is secured by its ears 9 to the ear piece 6, the outer end ortion thereof is preferably swung outwar ly slightly in the manner shown.

Obviously, by engaginga pencil or pen between the ear piece and t e leaf spring 8, the same cannot readily become dis laced as the tension of the leaf spring will c amp the pencil or pen in position against the ear piece, and any tendency of the pencil to slip out-,

' wardly by way of the free end of the leaf spring, Wlll be intercepted by the head 10.

While the foregoin specification has set forth the invention in etail, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size, and materials, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is An attachment for spectacles comprising a leaf spring provided with a pair of ears at one end thereof adapted for clamped engagement with one ear piece of a s ctacle, and a head at the opposite endof t e leaf spring, said leaf spring bein disposed longitudinally in the direction 0 the ear piece to which it is attached.

In testimony whereof I aflix m signature.
